Yamaha Motor Europe has revealed its 2026 ATV and Side-by-Side ranges, headlined by a major expansion of the premium XT-R specification and the launch of two exclusive 70th Anniversary models.

The most significant news is the expansion of Yamaha's premium XT-R specification into the Side-by-Side family. New Wolverine® RMAX™2 1000 XT-R, Wolverine® X2 850 XT-R, and Wolverine® X4 850 XT-R models combine aggressive styling and off-road capability. These new additions feature rugged, high-end finishes and are equipped with a WARN winch and a host of performance-enhancing components.

"The expansion of our XT-R specification into the Side-by-Side family marks a significant step for Yamaha," explained Dan Palmer, Manager RVGC at Yamaha UK. "These new models are a direct response to customer demand for even more capability and attitude. By providing factory-fitted, premium-spec models, we are empowering riders to get out there and take on bigger adventures with the peace of mind that comes from Yamaha’s reliability."

In a tribute to its racing heritage, Yamaha is also celebrating its 70th Anniversary with two Sport ATVs released in an exclusive retro racing livery inspired by the brand’s iconic machines of the 1990s.

- The YFM700R 70th Anniversary Edition delivers explosive big-bore performance and championship-winning DNA.

- The YFZ450R 70th Anniversary Edition combines razor-sharp handling and race-proven technology with exclusive styling that pays tribute to Yamaha’s racing heritage.

The 2026 line-up also sees the continuation of the hardworking Kodiak and Utility models, highlighting Yamaha's commitment to providing durable and dependable workhorses for every application.
